Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Anyone any news on the 3312L? Yep, its definitely a 3312L from the late 60s and not the much commoner 3314L.

Fingers crossed it will have found a good home.

Apparently unsold - which is a real surprise. Paul (not being funny about it) I am surprised you did not go for it as these must be pretty rare, actually I don't remember these at all - only the 3314. Apart from the hose storage, what are the differences between these two models?

Ohhh bugger!

I was going to watch it and see what happened, reaching to get my wallet if it looked like no one else was going to bite.

Then the listing was ended by the seller, due to the item being no longer available - fingers crossed it has found a good home.

The only difference I have noticed between 3312L and 3314L is that the earlier model has black kickstrip tape attached, to tie it in with the 3020, 3221H and 3223H widebody frontloaders.
The 3314L is without, to tie this machine in with the 3022, 3235, 3236H and 3243H Matchboxes.
There must be some mechanical difference too, but thats not my forte - I just make them look pretty and leave the technical suff to those who know what they are doing.

p.s the non de luxe running mate of the 3312L was the 3307, later replaced by the 3314L's running mate, in the form of the 3310E.

3312L

Hi Al and Steve

well I do have one of these, in a rough working state. As you say the main difference is in the storage section at the back rather than storage hooks. The nameplate on the front is surounded in aluminium trim rather than the grey plastic. The washtub is of the older matt finish stainless steel and the moulding of the top trim isn't quite as completly surounding the washtub, so when washing, water and foam bubble up over the hinge side if the washtub lid.

Otherwise the visual from above is the same, I know this model was launched in 1967, anyone know to the contray that this wasn't the first twintub with autorinsing. I know of the rolls autorinse model, but i've been told this was little more than a spin timer and a water spout over the spinner, though i've not seen one to know this for sure.

For those interested in the inside workings, the spindryer differs from the 3314l in that it has the bell shaped cast iron pulley, with the short spin can shaft, where as the 12l has the longer shaft, flater pulley with the tranax driving pin.

Hi Mathew

It's good to know someone out there has one too. Bet its not as rough as my 3314L!! Sounds like some opportunities for a new thread and some pictures. I've seen drawings of the alternative spin can arrangement but would be great to see some pics if you have them.

If you do a youtube search

you should find Lances video of the same machine.

The pump should be easy enough to sort out but if this is the single motor machine then it spins as well as washes at the same time.

Most odd.
